Six people arrived at a private room in a restaurant, ordered some tea, and sat around, introducing themselves briefly.

Xiaotong, representing the Four Kings Gang, spoke first: Since weve confirmed our cooperation, we need to get to know each other better to plan and ensure the feasibility of our operation.

Kas nodded in agreement: Thats right.

Suddenly, Su Hao chuckled: I think youve misunderstood the meaning of cooperation that I mentioned.

Hmm? Xiaotong looked at Su Hao with confusion.

Su Hao continued, Im responsible for killing Stan, the Tianjun. You dont need to worry about that. Just wait for it. After Ive taken care of Stan, youll be in charge of the South City area. Dont create chaos, and I wont interfere with your actions. In other words, we each mind our own business.

Xiaotong asked, What about the follow-up? What benefits do you want to gain in South City?

Su Hao replied, I dont need anything! After South City, you can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me.

The members of the Four Kings Gang exchanged glances, clearly perplexed. Xiaotong asked, So, what is your ultimate goal?

Su Hao said nonchalantly, We come from Temple Forest City, and the Tiansha Gang demanded a substantial protection fee from us. Since we couldnt pay, we decided to take down the Tiansha Gang. If we cant resolve the core issue, well deal with the people who brought it up.

The Four Kings Gang members were left speechless, thinking, Is that it? Moreover, they found it absurd that someone from a small provincial town would dare to come to Linyuan City and boldly claim to kill one of the citys major figures.

They couldnt find it in themselves to laugh at the situation. Xiaotong even felt like they were being played.

The Four Kings Gang collected protection fees from smaller cities every year, almost as a routine. Otherwise, how would they support so many people? If they collected fees from these smaller cities and the residents revolted, how would their gang operate?

Su Hao paid no attention to their puzzled gazes and continued, So, my goal is straightforward: whoever threatens Temple Forest City, Ill take them out. Or anyone who might threaten Temple Forest City I might take them out too.

With an evaluating look, he gazed at the four people in front of him.

Kas sneered, Kid, do you even know what the words Tianjun mean?

Su Hao replied, I dont know, but for me, its all the same.

They had seen arrogant people before, but they had never seen someone so audacious.

Suddenly, Su Hao said, A while back, a guy called Steel Armor King Abi, along with two others, came to Temple Forest City to collect protection fees, and I killed him.

The four men were speechless, and they couldnt believe their ears. Kass eyes bulged, and he rasped, You killed Steel Armor King Abi?

Su Hao nodded, If that bearded strongman was Steel Armor King Abi, then yes.

The members of the Four Kings Gang fell into silence. They knew Abi better than anyone, and none of the Four Kings present could confidently claim they could defeat Abi, let alone kill him.

If the guy named Wei in front of them was telling the truth, then who was this Wei? A Level 6 mutant?

They began to believe Su Haos words, as they hadnt seen the tyrannical Steel Armor King Abi in nearly two months a stark deviation from Abis character.

In an instant, they felt a twinge of relief.

Previously, it was the Four Kings Gang, who were contending with the Tiansha Gang for control of Temple Forest City. They even had violent clashes over it.

In the end, it was decided to relinquish the protection fee for Temple Forest City. Initially, they didnt understand why they would give up control of such a lucrative territory.

Now in hindsight, if Temple Forest City had ended up under the control of the Four Kings Gang, they would have undoubtedly dispatched a Level 5 mutant to collect protection fees, and it wouldnt have been Steel Armor King Abi who met his end.

At this point, Gaili spoke, Wei, are you confident you can take him down? Tianjun is a Level 6 mutant, nearly invincible within the territory of Linyuan City. Its not difficult to defeat him, but killing him is the challenge.

Su Hao responded, I havent fought him yet, but I dont foresee any major problems.

Gaili said, Alright, I understand. Give the Four Kings Gang some time. After tomorrow evening, well be prepared, and we can take over the entire South City area at any time.

Su Hao nodded.

At this moment, Xiaotong furrowed her brow, full of skepticism, and said, Since you have the ability to kill Tianjun Stan, why do you need to cooperate with us?

Before Su Hao could reply, Gaili explained, Xiaotong, dont you understand? Wei is worried that after killing Tianjun Stan, South City will fall into chaos. Thats why he approached us. He can approach us or even approach the Bliss Gang. It doesnt matter to Wei as long as someone smoothly takes over.

Xiaotong, furious, couldnt believe that this guy was undermining her in front of outsiders and speaking for them. She said, The Ji Le Gang is only interested in women, not in South City.

Gaili turned to Xiaotong and said earnestly, Xiaotong, trust me.

At this point, Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, surprisingly fell silent, and sat there without speaking.

Su Hao then spoke up, Since your questions are over, I have a few questions.

Gaili flashed a big smile and said, Wei, feel free to ask. As long as we know, theres nothing we cant say.

Su Hao immediately asked, I have a doubt. Steel Armor King Abi was killed by me over a month ago, but the Tiansha Gang hasnt sent anyone to investigate the situation in Temple Forest City. Do you know whats going on?

Gaili laughed, Thats normal. Although Steel Armor King Abi is managed by Tianjun Stan, he had a lot of autonomy. Its not unusual for a month or even half a year to pass without anyone caring. Who knows, maybe he ran off to some small city along the way. Also, Tianjun Stan himself isnt necessarily confident in defeating Steel Armor King Abi, so what could go wrong?

Su Hao nodded, I see.

He then asked, I heard that Linyuan City has four major gangs, and three of them are led by Level 6 mutants, namely Tianjun Stan, Ji Jun Kana, and Shi Jun Yuan. But after entering the city, I only found two Level 6 mutants. Is it possible that the third one isnt in the city?

Gailis eyes sparkled, and he burst into laughter, You must be talking about that guy Shi Jun Yuan! Hes a weird one. He doesnt provoke others, and we dont dare to provoke him either. Haha, were even somewhat afraid of him.

Su Hao showed a hint of curiosity and asked, What are Shi Jun Yuans abilities?

Gaili said, Yuan, Shi Jun, is a Level 6 mutant in the Mimic sequence. I dont know the specifics, but I do know one thing nobody can find his true form, or maybe he doesnt have one. If you encounter someone claiming to be Shi Jun, its mostly a clone.

Su Hao suddenly recalled the peculiar people he had seen today and asked, Is there a place in the city where people act strangely and lifeless, like Shi Jun perhaps?

Gaili nodded, Thats right, thats Shi Jun! A very strange person, isnt he? Haha, I cant figure him out either.

Su Hao took note and decided not to ask further about Shi Jun. Instead, he asked his final question, What are Tianjun Stans abilities?

Gaili scratched his head and said, We interact more with Tianjun. I know some details. He can fly freely in the sky at high speeds and move underground at will. When he burrows underground, he disappears entirely. He also has precise perception of our locations, like a slippery eel. Its nearly impossible to catch him. The most crucial part is that he can grant the objects he touches the same attributes as him. For instance, if he touches a table, it can fly or burrow underground, essentially, Tianjun Stan is quite formidable.

Su Hao nodded in understanding.

Then he asked his last question, Is there a way to make Tianjun Stan leave his castle?
